Prescriptivist Pet Peeves of the Day:

  1. Decimated means "10% destroyed", not "obliterated". It's right there in the first two syllables, people, figure it the $%^# out already.¹
  2. "Phase" is what Geordi does to the injector coils when they don't work right. "Fazed" is what J.Shep is when a space princess wants to get it on. Yes, it really is spelled that way.
  3. It's called the subjunctive, kids. Learn it, know it, love it.
Here, I'll shut up and you can have some music.

Devendra Banhart - Fall
Bill Fox - Jordan Is A Hard Road To Travel
Peter Bjorn and John - Let's Call It Off
MGMT - Time to Pretend
Young Galaxy - Swing Your Heartache

¹ Because if I hear it used improperly on one more TV show I may lose my goddamn mind. Please, have mercy.

music is my boyfriend, writing
